What's next for the 335? On the block now?

I would have been interested to see how long that gen 2 water pump went, and if it outlasts the gen1 that dies at ~70K....

Nice work!

Definitely not the most fun job on the planet, but now my 135i has a new lifetime warrantied water pump, so one less N54 headache to worry about for the time being. On the topic of how long water pump lasts (or any frequently failing N54 part for that matter), I would be interested to see stats on mileage vs age. My second water pump had more mileage and had shown zero signs of any type of malfunction. I feel one of the reasons my car is so reliable is how often it's used.

335i has already been sold. Left the day before I made the post with all the pictures.
